by The Nothing Headphone 1 Pro is the latest premium over-ear headphone from Nothing and a more advanced version of the company’s original Headphone (1). The new model focuses heavily on audio quality, noise cancellation and studio-style listening, while retaining Nothing’s distinctive transparent design language.
The biggest upgrade is its triple-driver audio system, which combines a 40mm dynamic driver, a precision driver and an xMEMS treble driver. The headphones also feature up to 46dB Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Bluetooth 6.1 and up to 68 hours of battery life with ANC turned off.
Nothing Headphone 1 Pro Launch Date
The Nothing Headphone 1 Pro launch date was September 29, 2026. Nothing unveiled the headphones as its latest flagship audio product, with sales beginning in international markets from the same date.
However, as of the launch announcement, Nothing has not confirmed an India launch date. The product is listed on Nothing’s India website, but Indian availability and an official India sale date had not been announced at the time of writing.
Nothing Headphone 1 Pro Price in India
The Nothing Headphone 1 Pro price in India has not been officially announced yet. Its international launch price is $399, which is approximately ₹38,400 before considering Indian taxes, duties and local pricing.
Therefore, the ₹38,000-plus figure should not be treated as the official India price. Nothing is expected to announce Indian pricing and availability separately if and when the product officially goes on sale in the country.
